Day 47- Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

1 08 2007

Noonish

I had a pretty good morning. It’s a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky.  It’s about 72 degrees.  I gave myself the day off from worry!

I am sitting on the dock with my feet dangling in the water. It’s so quiet here today.  Oh how I love this place.  I know I am here for a reason.  This is where I need to be to heal.  Strange, but I get the feeling everything that has happened to me my whole life was a set up for this very day.  This day that I am sitting on this dock in this camp at this moment.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I know that is an old cliché, but today, I get it.

I have to make a decision right now.  I can fight this monster with hate and anger, stress and fear.  Or I can fight it with peace and pride.  With the love of my family, my friends, and my Lord.

I can fight it on this dock with my feet dangling in the water.

You can’t catch me I’m the ginger bread man.

I love it here. I brought my book out with me, but I haven’t needed it yet.  What an easy life.

Hahah. That reminded me of when I was trying to convince an English fella to join Amway. At the end of my spiel he said, “If et’s so bloody ea-zee, wha idn’t eva’body doin’ et?”

That there, is the question.  Why isn’t everybody doing this?  As a society, we have forgotten what is important. What is really necessary.

We have forgotten how to sit on a dock is August with our feet dangling in the water.

If I take one positive thing from this mess I am in it will be how to dangle my feet in the water of life.
